Fallout is all anyone can talk about at the moment and it’s well deserved. The series has always been a favourite, but it’s currently undergoing a bit of a renaissance because of the stellar TV show from Amazon Studios. To coincide with this popularity,Bethesdais releasing an update forFallout 4to bring it into the new generation.
For those wanting to revisit, or start afresh withFallout 4, we’ve got a great selection of mods you can download and play on console. Now is a perfect time to play.
It’s worth noting that after the Bethesda update, these mods may break and will require their own updates from the mod teams.
SimpleSeasons
Even though the wasteland is brown and grey due to the war and the bombs, it feels a bit odd that nature hasn’t revived enough to show some colour. It can get a bit bland for the eyes after a while, so you need to grab the SimpleSeaons packs, one for each season. Titled, SimpleGreen (Spring), SimpleYellow (Summer), SimpleRed (Autumn), and SimpleWhite (Winter) on Xbox One, you’ll have to download each in order to enjoy a full year and you’ll be able to enjoy a splash of colour here and there to make things look lush.

Any Mod Any Weapon
Falloutcan be ridiculous, it’s part of its charm. It’s often very silly and never takes itself too seriously especially when it comes to weapons - being able to shoot a mini-nuke is hilarious. This mod lets you craft weapons together to make some crazy combinations. Want to fire cannonballs out of a revolver? You can do it. Create your own worldkiller gun and revel in the apocalypse.
No Build Limit
Building settlements inFallout 4was somewhat contentious. It seemed to split much of the audience down the middle due to being a bit awkward, but some players have made brilliant settlements. The ‘No Build Limit’ mod does everything in its name, it removes the build limit allowing you to really lean into your base. Of course, you may find your game slow down and start chugging a bit, but if you want a sprawling empire, then go for it.

Full Dialogue Interface
One of my biggest frustrations withFallout 4was the dialogue. Oftentimes you would choose a particular line only for your character to say something very different. This takes away from the feeling of a personal journey, so this mod steps in to fully show the dialogue about to be spoken. It’s a great opportunity to lean into the role-playing. This also helps you direct the conversation exactly how you mean it to.
Better Graphics and Weather
Now, this one may not be needed for much longer, given the ‘new-gen’ update coming from Bethesda, but for now, it’ll make your playthrough more visually appealing. It’s the lighting that does it, with it being more even and diffusing through trees and bouncing off water, making it prettier than ever. The weather isn’t a huge change, but it makes everything feel refreshed. Who knew the wasteland could look this stunning?
Choose Your Own Perks
Choosing perks to boost your character is a large part of the fun. However, some perks may not fit your playstyle and you can find out a bit too late. This perks mod will allow you to try out everything from the very beginning. You can cherry-pick the ones that sound good, or you can turn them all on and be some kind of wasteland juggernaut. It’s a helpful mod to figure out exactly how you want to play and revert any choices you make that don’t fit.
Fallout 2287: Nuclear Winter
If you want more survival mechanics inFallout 4, this will be the mod for you. Essentially, it brings in new factors to contend with like body temperature and keeping yourself warm in this snowstorm. It also does a lovely job of overhauling the visuals and bringing in lots of fresh and crunchy snow.

Armorsmith Extended
Last on the list is Armorsmith Extended which changes how armour and clothes are layered and equipped. This makes character models look more authentic - unless you take things too far, which is possible - and it also brings in new items. With so many options, you’ll be able to look good and stay alive longer. Make yourself look as absurd as possible and kill some deathclaws.
